Gerry is a top agent in the area, and I'm confident our teamwork will result in a success on December 19^th," stated David Enriquez, Platinum's vice president of operations.

Situated on 8 private and manicured acres, the 25,000-square-foot residence includes 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 5 half bathrooms, and is located within minutes of the Saratoga National Golf Course, downtown Saratoga Springs, and the world famous Saratoga Race Track. Inside the three-story home, one finds a sophisticated yet relaxed environment. A grand foyer with winding double staircases, marble flooring and a sparkling chandelier welcomes guests in grand fashion, while the main level's great room, which features exposed wood beams and an impressive stone fireplace, offers a sense of laidback, upstate New York charm.

Prominent features of the estate include a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and an extensive butler's pantry, a mahogany-paneled dining room, private theater with multi-row seating, outdoor pool and spa with oversized deck and lounge area, and an indoor pool and spa with it's own kitchen/bar area.

Auto enthusiasts will appreciate the estate's 8-car garage.

"The courtyard entry and rather stately, stone exterior of the home are nods to the historical affluence and high society in Saratoga, while the inside of the house is outfitted with all of the modern bells and whistles," added Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's president and founder.

A separate guesthouse is also located on the property, and offers an additional 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and approximately 1,200 square feet of living space.
